Jet2: Airline cancels all flights in June but says they will ‘recommence’ in July

JET2 and Jet2holidays customers with plans to fly abroad in June may be left disappointed after the airline today announced that they will be "recommencing" flights in July. Here's everything you need to know about future Jet2 travel options.

The budget airline and tour operator originally said it was planning to restart its flights on June 17. However, this has since changed due to continuing Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice against all but essential travel. The FCO advice previously stated that the travel warning will be in place “indefinitely”.

“With aircraft grounded, our focus has been on looking after customers whose flights and holidays have been affected, and we are very proud to have been recognised as the best airline and best tour operator in the UK for how we have been treating customers in response to the pandemic, according to a major investigative survey by MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE).

“Our teams have been working around the clock to look after customers and independent travel agents, and we can assure everyone affected by today’s announcement that they will receive the same level of service.”

For those with flights and holidays before July, Jet2 has said that they do not need to contact them directly.

The airline spokesperson continued: “Customers who were due to travel before July 1 do not need to contact us.
